New Year...New Freezer Meal Workshop

Meal Planning in the New Year

I am not a big fan of New Year's resolutions. They seem too perfect a set-up to be let down. Instead, I prefer to help simplify my busy life by getting back to basics. Meal planning is one of those organizational tools that fell by the wayside during the hectic holiday season and I can never quite figure out why I let that happen. But instead of dwelling on it, I endeavor to make a plan each week for 4 or 5 nights knowing that the others will include leftovers, breakfast for dinner or going out.

Making a plan and prepping ahead of time makes all the difference in the world!  Filling your freezer with ready to go meals also helps. Speaking of freezers...my Freezer Meal Workshops are back and ready to help you ring in the New Year with healthy & delicious family meals! I've planned out the next 3 months so take a look, sign up to save your spot and get ready to simplify dinnertime.

Sweet Potato and Chicken Hash with Green Chili Hollandaise

Sweet Potato and Chicken Hash with Green Chili Hollandaise
Serves 4

2 large sweet potatoes, baked, peeled, diced
2 cups cooked chicken breasts, shredded
2 scallions, thinly sliced
1/4 cup cilantro, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup bell pepper, diced
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon Wildtree Smoky Chipotle Hot Sauce

1 large Poblano pepper, roasted, skinned, seeds removed, and finely chopped
2 tablespoons Wildtree Natural Grapeseed Oil
4 eggs, cooked any style

Place the potatoes, chicken, scallion, cilantro, bell pepper, honey, and Chipotle Hot Sauce in a large bowl and mix gently until combined, season with salt and pepper; set aside. Prepare Hollandaise Sauce according to directions. Fold in the chopped poblano pepper. Keep warm. Form the potato mixture into 4 equal-sized patties. Heat the oil in a large sauté pan until just smoking. Season the patties with salt and pepper to taste and sauté the patties on each side until golden brown. Keep warm. In the same pan cook the eggs to your liking (we prefer over easy). Top each hash patty with an egg and top with chili hollandaise sauce.

In a small sauce pan, bring the water to a boil. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of Mocha Cheesecake Blend and whisk until dissolved. Set aside.

Arrange half the lady fingers in bottom of a 5×7-inch casserole dish. Brush or spoon mocha liquid over lady fingers until they are wet, but not soaked all the way through. Spread half the Mascarpone mixture evenly over the lady fingers in the dish. Arrange the remaining lady fingers on top and brush with Mocha Liquid (there will most likely be some liquid left over).
Cover the lady fingers with the remaining Mascarpone mixture. Sprinkle with Chocolate Shavings if desired. Chill for 4 hours.
